The heavy rain Tuesday night and the threatening weather yesterday morning necessitated a change In ar rangements. the parade being post poned until 11 o'clock. It proved necessary to make some changes from the line of march an nounced. The parade formed near the City Hall, and when passing the Judge stand Miss Helen Good was formally crowned as Queen of the Tournament, President Carden Bunn making an es pecially apt speech at this ceremony in his capacity as Master of Cere monies. The grand parade yesterday morn ing was a thing of beauty, and won the hearty plaudits of all. The various fire departments presented a fine ap pearance in their natty uniforms, but the center of attraction, of course, was the handsomely decorated equipages with their fair bevies of ladies hon ored by their friends with places in the tourney. The chief of these was naturally the elegant float occupied by the Queen and her attendants. This float is in the shape of an ancient Ro man galley and is completely covered with white and green, the flowers be ing wisteria draped with smilax.

Binford, who took the place of Mrs. Morgan Russell on account of the latter’s illness This float was a most artistic creation, and would have done credit to any city. Four cute little pages—Richard Hardwick, Spur geon Lacy. Leporris Mundv and A. W. Bobo--occupied places in the float. The outriders were Messrs. Winfrey Peek. Graham Norman, Edgar Stubbs, and F'elix Bowman. The charming Sponsor for Fire Co. No. 1 of the Cedartown Fire Depart ment is Miss Helen Crabb, who with her Maids, Misses Callie Smith and Arabella Dun woody, occupied a beau tifully adorned vehicle, the flowers be ing white and gold chrysanthemums nicely covering a mammoth basket. Mrs. Sara Tucker took the place as chaperone of Mrs. E. S. Ault, who was recently injured in an accident. This vehicle was one of the most pleas- l?Z r.-.ures of the parade. The outriders were Messrs. W. H. Trawick, J. H. Philpot. W, L. Knight and J. K. Davis. Pratt City sent a handsomely dec orated carriage, which was occupied by; the attractive S|>onsor for that de partment, Miss Belle Taylor, and her Maids of Honor, Misses Belle FJng- lish und Claude Wood, chaperoned by Mrs. Jas. H. King. There were three beautiful^ deco rated private vehicles in the parade, and the one occupied by Miss Josephine Chappian and Mr. Joe Lid dell won the first prize of $20. The second prize. $7.50. was won by Misses Gussle and Louise Houses!. The third, which was one of the cutest and pret tiest of all, was occupied by little Miss F'lorlne Hardwick and her friend, lit tle Miss Louise Moultrie of Rome. Dr. J. A. Liddell was Marshal of the Day. with Messrs. B. F\ Sims. S. P. Holloway, W. A. Chapman, F. B. Knight and E. E. Lindsey as his aids. At the close of the parade Hon. J. B.
